Their French followers - for followers, at least they were, if not disciples - came into the world between 1800 and 1820. Corot alone advanced matters a little, and appeared on the scene while the eighteenth century had still four years. To run. It m...

Excerpt from Sir Henry RaeburnNow, Raeburn was organised to perceive character, and he acquired the art of showing its bodily signs with rare simplicity and energy. Scotland offered him a perfect glut of subjects, and, as the country then kept at home some of the most illustrious heads of the day, the work of Raeburn, though mainly of national interest, acquires an importance as wide as the fame of Scott, Burns, Hume, Wilson, and Dugald Stewar...

During the painter's own lifetime his most intimate friends found it difficult to satisfy their legitimate curiosity, while too many of those with whom his more retired hours were Spent belonged to the classes which disappear and leave no trace.
